πŸ“’KM3NET DETECTS THE HIGHEST ENERGY NEUTRINO EVER OBSERVED

This #KM3NeT_UHE event KM3-230213A is estimated to have a record neutrino energy of 220 PeV, or 220 million billion electronvolts

Congratulations Govert Schilling
πŸ›₯️ Welcome ORCA33! 🌞

We had a new successful sea campaign:
1) We reconnected 4 lines previously installed and tested on node 1 to the newly deployed node 2
2) We deployed and connected 5 new lines to node 2

Big thanks to everyone involved for this great step!

Happy #WorldTeachersDay!

A scientific discovery depends not only on instruments and technology, but also on those who ignite curiosity in the next generation.

Let's thank all teachers for their passion, and enthusiasm!

Dive into the mysteries of the Universe with #KM3NeT !
Join us at the European Researchers’ Night on September 26th and explore how we detect elusive neutrinos deep in the Mediterranean.
πŸ”Ž Check the locally organised events in your city and don’t miss the chance to find our desks and discover more!
Congratulations Luc!

Luc Cerisy ( @univ-amu.fr / CNRS Marseille )
won the 2024 GNN Dissertation Prize for his thesis:

β€œFirst tau neutrino appearance, non-unitary mixing
and absolute orientation measurements in KM3NeT”.

It was one of ten submitted theses.

STRONGER TOGETHER

Paschal Coyle (CPPM Marseille) and Claudio Kopper (ECAP Erlangen) will be the new chairs of The Global Neutrino Network which aims for a closer collaboration and strategy among neutrino telescopes

Thanks to the former chair Greg Sullivan
Yes! we have installed a second 'node' for detection units in the #ORCA seafloor network! A complex operation executed by ship crews, ROV operators and #KM3NeT teams on board and in the control station on the shore.

Congratulations and many thanks to all of them!

Sara, Sriya, Adrian, Jorge, Ricardo and Guille participated in this year's IFIC Summer School, where they taught students Sergi, MarΓ­a, BelΓ©n and Pablo how to perform various analyses in @km3net.bsky.social
πŸš€ At ICRC in Geneva, KM3NeT shared exciting new results in neutrino, astro & dark matter physics, including #KM3230213A, the most energetic neutrino ever detected!
🌌 We also joined CERN’s STELLAR event for public outreach.

VEGA has been these two weeks contributing to the large amount of interesting state of the art contributions of the ICRC 2025 with ours from ANTARES & @km3net.bsky.social with more than 5 talks and 7 posters! Looking forward for ICRC 2027 at Buenos Aires and ICRC 2029 at Jinan!
Beautiful pictures in the corridors of @nikhef.bsky.social
Home-sweet-home…!

Ik ben dan wel te gast, toch voelt het een beetje als thuiskomen @nikhef.bsky.social

En ik vind allemaal prachtige #KM3NeT plaatjes aan de muur! 😍🀩

Over the past two weeks, a record number of 18 new detection units for the @km3net.bsky.social neutrino detector have been installed on the seabed off the coast of Sicily and connected to the data networks on land. www.nikhef.nl/en/news/reco...
🚒🌊 Welcome, ARCA51! A milestone for KM3NeT! 🚒🌊

In the past 2 weeks, KM3NeT/ARCA grew to 51 detection units and got a new acoustic system with sub-meter precision 🎯
πŸ‘ Huge thanks to our offshore & onshore teams!

We are very proud of our PhD student Nadja Lessing from @vegaific.bsky.social! She won the @europhysicssociety.bsky.social poster prize at the Majorana School held in Modica (Sicily, Italy)!

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

On her poster she shows how KM3neT can search for quantum decoherence

Have a look and get inspired!
🌌 KM3NeT at #EPSHEP2025 🌌

At the #EPS #HEP #conference (the High-Energy Physics division of @europhysicssociety.bsky.social), KM3NeT participated with 5 parallel talks as well as a plenary talk

It was well appreciated, and nice to share knowledge across communities
